this is a sweet truck i built it 2 years ago and am now moving and need to sell. yes this truck is has a 1986 mercedes benz om617 5 cylinder diesel engine in it. the conversion was done with a professionally made adapter plate. it has a 2-3 inch old man emue spring lift. a 3 inch body lift. goodyear kevlar wangler 33x12.5 in tires with less than 5000 miles on them. awesome tires and very low road noise. it has a fours speed manual tranmission the body was sandblasted and then rhyno linned everywhere on the exterior. there was some fender rust in the rear repaired before this was done. i want to be as honest as i can about the truck. i love this truck and drive it every day. its top speed is about 75. i drive it comfortably on the high way at 65. it gets about 15-18 mpg. it has straight pipe on it thats 3 inches. it not really loud but it is also not quiet. you can really hear the turbo spool. when driving on highway in hills it wont stay at 65 55 in third all day but not 65 in fourth. there is no frame rest except behind rear tires. its behind where the rear leaf springs attach. there is a few inches where you can see through the frame in the middle. i did not have this fixed because it is behind where the frame is doing anything.
please look at the pictures and feel free to call me with any questions. 574 453 1447 i am a huge mercedes diesel fan and have owned 25+ the motor that was installed is a a 1986 that had 160,000 miles in it when installed. it has excellent compression. it has monarch fuel injectors installed.
two sets of differentials this is the complete third member. right now i have a 4.11 in the rear and a 3.73 in the front. and no i dont ever use 4x4 this way. it is easy to swap rear back out to 3.73 which i do in winter. and for light offroading i have done in the truck. the 4.11 is better for on road driving in 2 high. you cant do whatever you want.
one last thing. if below 25 or so at night truck has a hard time starting. not because the glow plugs are bad but because the toyota starter doesnt have same torque as mercedes one. it does have a block heater and it will start in negative 10 as cold as it got here, without a problem. if this is a big issue you can install a mean green starter which will solve the problem.
also included in the auction if you want it. you do not have to take but you can if you want.
extra 1986 om617 complete motor for parts or whatever.
intercooler and piping for hook up
california style intake manifold which makes installing inter cooler easy. i have done same swap on a toyota truck. and inter cooler helped with power on highway.
extra top rear hatch frame. with window installed
box of extra lights for most on truck
extra front grill
and whatever i am forgetting
this is a no reserve auction

Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris
Thu, 04 Jul 2013Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe.
Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States.
Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners
Thu, 16 May 2013A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.
